        "question": "Which cities in Quintana Roo can I fly to directly or with one stop from Columbus?",
        "answer": "From Columbus you can fly to Cancún International Airport, the main gateway to Quintana Roo. There are no non-stop flights, but common one-stop routes connect through Atlanta, Dallas-Fort Worth, or Charlotte. Cancún serves the Riviera Maya and northern beaches, while Cozumel, reachable via a short flight or ferry from Cancún, is better for diving. Chetumal is an option for the southern part of the state but usually requires two stops."
